MadTV and Miss Swan
MADtv was a long-running American sketch comedy television series that aired on Fox from 1995 to 2009. It was known for its irreverent and satirical take on pop culture, politics, and current events. The show featured a talented ensemble cast that included performers like Nicole Sullivan, Phil LaMarr, Will Sasso, and Alex Borstein.
One of the most popular recurring characters on MADtv was Miss Swan, played by Alex Borstein. Miss Swan was an eccentric, heavily-accented Asian woman who would often find herself in bizarre situations and interactions. She was known for her outrageous behavior, non-sequiturs, and hilarious misunderstandings of the English language. Miss Swan became a fan favorite for her memorable catchphrases like "I don't understand!" and her tendency to cause chaos wherever she went. The character's popularity led to her appearing in several sketches and even a short film titled "Swan: The Movie."
